Sometimes she's just where your hand was. Good luck moving.

This is Japan's version of rush hour/gridlock.

I like how the attendents are HELPING shove them in instead of trying to only allow a reasonable number in.

Reasonable is getting as many people to work on time.

chinese aren't polite enough to take that kinda stuff.
and since when did japanese sound like chinese? its as different sounding as german and french.

German and French sound way more similar than Japanese and Chinese...

Are you serious?? The french and the germans sound nothing alike!

Chinese people would pull you off the train instead of pushing you in.

One of the most characteristic sounds in French and German is the guttural R, shared by very few languages, along with the umlaut U and O. German has taken on a sizable amount of loan words from Latin, and a sizable amount of quite common words from French that are pronounced exactly as they are in French, not to mention the fact that German and French are closely related members of a single language family. Japanese shares almost none of its pronunciation with Mandarin and none of it's grammar, and they are not in the same language family, or even close to it. A sizable vocabulary is taken from Chinese, but has been modified to the point where it is unrecognizable to the untrained ear.

I was in Osaka for a week in December, and I don't remember the trains being bad. Certainly nowhere near the one in the vid. Even in Seoul near Seoul Station at rush hour, the trains are packed but I've never seen that happen.

..just think. when all you's guys are forced out of your cars you'll have that to look forward to.

Must be an extreme case. I've been on trains in Japan and they were perfectly enjoyable, although not at rush hour, but I'm pretty sure this was an extreme example.

well it's definitely japanese, but it's also ridiculous. have trains that run more frequently you fucking jackasses.

the trains run at intervals well under 2 minutes- the highest frequency in the world. And that is a commuter train during rush hour many years ago, not "first class." They don't have people being shoved in anymore.

then why can't they keep ppl from packing into these fucking trains - and i dont think they're that frequent at locations where this packing happens - it looked like it took more than 2 minutes to shove ppl onto the trains like that.

the whole situation looks like it can be solved without having to shove ppl on trains. stupidity like that pisses me off

If you are already running trains at minimum headway and maximum car length during a rush period then there is little they can do short term.

err ur talking degrees of difference. fine if you want to get technical. but just listening to french and german they area unmistakably different. you'd have to be deaf and ignorant to not be able to tell the difference. which means not being able to tell chinese from japanese is so much worse.

QFT. Most people I know of are incapable of telling the difference between people speaking a Chinese language and the Japanese language. The way they talk is much more similar than the French and the German language. Still, I have no problem distinguishing any of the languages mentioned.

I don't know about "most people", but it's pretty hard to not quickly recognize the difference between a tonal language and a non-tonal one.

When I visited Japan last year, I have to say I was in that pile of people being shoved in once during rush hour. It wasn't this bad though, but we did have a guard pushing us in.

God - what an experience that was!

It wasn't very frequent though - of taking the train maybe about 25 times total, this happened once.

Did you feel up and hot Japanese weminz???
